New Delhi: The Lieutenant Governor does not have independent decision-making powers in Delhi and the real power must lie with the elected government, the Supreme Court ruled today in a spectacular legal victory for Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the long-running fight over who’s the boss in the national capital. “The states should enjoy freedom without unsolicited interference from the centre…popular will cannot be allowed to lose its purpose,” the court said, asserting that the Lt Governor must not be obstructionist. “A big victory for people of Delhi”, said Mr Kejriwal, whose three-year rule in Delhi has been marked by protests and dharnas, most recently on sofas at Lt Governor Anil Baijal’s home last month. “There is no room for absolutism and there is no room for anarchism also,” the court said.
